Gary Varvel: The President's dog – Bidenflation
America's Godly Heritage and a new Humor Me cartoon
President Biden’s furry friend keeps biting Secret Service Agents. This is a good analogy for what Bidenomics is doing to the economy. Biden’s energy policies have enslaved Americans to the whims of OPEC resulting in rising gas prices. Economists claim that inflation is cooling but consumers are constantly reminded that Bidenomics has inflated prices of goods and services that are eating their wallets.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has become the most visible promoter of President Biden’s re-election campaign. Perhaps he wants to help Biden pass the torch, I mean, carry the torch.
CARTOONING FODER
Democrat Rep. Jamaal “fire alarm” Bowman pulled the fire alarm before a vote in the House of Representatives on Sunday. He said he was just trying to get a door to open. The cynic in me thinks it’s possible that he was trying to delay the vote in the House. I was busy drawing several freelance cartoons yesterday and didn’t make time to draw Rep. Bowman but I was contemplating a song parody “50 ways to stop the voters.”
There must be 50 ways to stop the voters
Just get down the hall, Jamaal
And pull the alarm, Charm
Get out of the house, Louse
Just listen to me…
Then pull the plug, Doug
You don’t need to cus, Gus
Just get away, Ray
And cause a delay.

AMERICA’s GODLY HERITAGE
A friend emailed me yesterday and thanked me for an essay I wrote about the “Faith of the Founding Fathers.” Then he wrote this:
“…Last night I found myself reading a chapter in Paul Johnson's "History of the American People." The Christian influence is such that denying it should be laughable.”
He’s absolutely right. I know that some of my subscribers don’t believe it but the founder’s own quotes are well documented and prove that they believed in the Creator God of the Bible.
It’s not surprising when you understand the founders’ education. In 1647 Massachusetts established the public school system with legislation called the “Old Deluder Law” which read, “It being one chief project of that old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the knowledge of the Scriptures… The purpose of the public school was to teach children to read the Bible. This was the school system throughout the 1700s.
Plus from 1730-1770, the Great Awakening happened before the Revolution and the clergy had a tremendous influence on the founders thirst for liberty.
Wallbuilders.com has documented a lot of material on America’s founding. Here’s a link to some of the founders’ quotes.
Look at this: Many of the early states’ Constitutions included Christian language.
The Delaware Constitution, 1776, Article 22 says that everyone appointed to public office must take this oath:
" I, __________ do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration.”
America has a Godly Heritage. It’s undeniable. But we have forgotten God today. We have become secularized (godless pagans) and we are reaping what we have sown. Our problems are not political but spiritual. Cheryl Magness’ essay below is an excellent assessment of America’s decline.

Gary, I continue to be a big fan, and I give you credit when I post your cartoons, but my following is only a few hundred. Keep doing the job of every Christian by sharing His truth, love, and His plan of Grace for mankind.
These are the last days, so keep carrying your lanterns: one if by Whitehouse,, two if by Senate, three if by the House, four if by the Dem Government Cabal (Justice, FBI, IRS, etc), five if by the other Dem Cabal (NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc), six if by educators, seven if by Dem scientists, eight if by China, nine if by Russia, and ten if by the middle east.
Yeah, it seems insurmountable, BUT, this is my Father's World, and His plan will prevail. Thanks for writing about the end times. I don't agree with all that you are saying about the end times,, but you are not alone in your positions, and who's to say that any one of us is right? Jesus kept some things secret, and for a good reason.
Hey, I predicted the Rapture this year at Trumpets, but about 9pm I confessed my mistake and said, "Maybe next year, nevertheless, come quickly Lord Jesus."
Before becoming a fibbing politician, Jamaal Bowman was a High School Principal.... so clearly he is more than familiar with fire alarms and emergency door exits. These “ the dog ate my homework” explanations are really quite offensive, especially in light of J6 defendants still sitting in jail cells awaiting trial for breaking this very law. Two tier justice system.
